atvman:It's not even close to being on the same level as the Jeep Grand Cherokee. I'll pass.

SuperDuper:It looks like a CUV - I'm with you 100%.

but it's a real SUV

though honestly i for one was hopping for a smaller 5 passenger ONLY truck with a partial removable roof and 1969 blazer inspired design. something like the Hx Concept or the old Tracker convertible only with good build quality i wonder what engine they'll use for these? how sweet would it be to bring back the Atlas only updated with DI ford wasn't the first to have 6 cylinder with the power of an 8!

atvman - moderator:It's not even close to being on the same level as the Jeep Grand Cherokee. I'll pass.

That's a pretty idiotic statement, like saying you'd pass on a G.Cherokee because "It's not even close to being on the same level as" an Audi S6. None of these three vehicles compete in the same market.

Autoblog has reported GM spokesman Tom Wilkinson saying “there are currently no plans to bring (the Trailblazer) to the U.S.”

While LLN had already said, "Still, as the U.S. market continues to shed mid-sized SUVs in favor of lighter and more CAFE-friendly crossovers, the Trailblazer could prove to have a niche if GM eventually decides to bring it to the U.S. Given the equity Chevy has in the Trailblazer name in the U.S., it also seems odd for the automaker to select that moniker for a global product if they did not intend to cash in on its value in the U.S. at some point in the future as well."

-Dequindre-:I think GM is contemplating giving GMC a version of the Trailblazer. Envoy anyone?

Cadillac has been exploring a Mid'scalade, bigger than the SRX, for a while. Considering the decent sales of the H3 (especially to the bling-crowd), GM could probably do quite well dropping a GMC SUV in place of a Cadillac one.- Chevy Colorado and Trailblazer- GMC Canyon and Canyon Denali- Cadillac 'Mescalade'

Not necessary true. This is from auto week. General Motors says it has developed other power trains for the Trailblazer to be used in other markets.
------------------------------------------------------------I don't blame people for their mistakes , but I do ask that they pay for them.

Wow, that's actually surprisingly good-looking. I'll agree though that it does look CUV-like. But that's only in terms of the shape of the body; the ground clearance tells another story. But I can't exactly say that the Grand Cherokee looks any more truck-like, either. Other than the fact that it possesses the traditional Jeep grille.

And for the first time in a while, Chevy didn't screw up the rear end. It actually looks really, really good.

tamarack:GM has revealed official pics of the Colorado-based Trailblazer SUV. At the same time, the US date for the Colorado (and likely Trailblazer) has been set at late-2014 for the 2015 MY.

countrycoach:They aren't bringing the Trailblazer to the US... We have the Tahoe here.

Tahoe is way to expensive for those who want an SUV but dont' want to pay close to 40'000 for one D:

though thinking about this this trailblazer is a Tahoe supplemental for other countries that don't get the Tahoe! it seats 7 vs Tahoe's 7-9 it tows like what? 6000 pounds to Tahoe's 7-8000 it has a full frame and 4 wheel drive just like Tahoe.

I guess it is a bit to big for america... but they could shorten it if we get these they'll be built in america anyway along side the Colorado so we could make a unique version! make it shorter, give it rugged bumpers and flairs, Xcab style the rear doors, maybe lop the top off "Tracker style" call it the Blazer!, offer it as an FJcruiser/Wrangler/Pathfinder opponent H3 proper Trailblazer/Envoy replacement and an inexpensive SUV for those who want or need one it would be awesome! maybe give some retro inspiration from this

or they could just make a crossover SUV based on the Alpha platform, with AWD a subframe below the uni body and good styling it could be like a mini Grand Cherokee or Aussie Ford Territory or a modern day S10 Blazer "the original S10 was based heavily on the Monte/Elcamino chassis afterall" it could be done again!

i agree about both this and the JGC looking like CUVs, but while i like the jeeps front end i just really dont like chevy's split grill all that much.
